Predicting Implementation Fidelity and Sustainability
- Predicting Implementation Fidelity and Sustainability in a School-based Prevention Program
- Prévision de la fidélité dans la mise en œuvre d’un programme de prévention en milieu scolaire et de sa durabilité
Teachers that were trained in the Fourth R prior to 2009 were surveyed online to determine the extent to which they continued using the program, the modifications they made, and perceived barriers to implementation. Results indicated that most of the teachers were highly satisfied with the program and continued implementing it with fidelity after several years. Perceived readiness after training, support and accountability emerged as predictors of high quality implementation.
